Hyperhidrosis Treatments

1. Botulinum Toxin (Botox®, Azzalure®, Xeomin®)

How It Works: Purified neurotoxin is injected into sweat glands, temporarily blocking the nerve signals that trigger sweating. Results last 4–12 months.

Key Benefits:
80–90% reduction in sweating within 2 weeks
No more embarrassing wet patches

Key Benefits:
Permanent results after 1–2 sessions
Eliminates odour glands as well
No ongoing maintenance needed

3. Topical Antiperspirants (Prescription-Strength)

Key Benefits:
Non-invasive, at-home application

4. Oral Medications (Anticholinergics)

Key Benefits:
Treats multiple areas simultaneously
No injections or downtime

5. Iontophoresis – Tap Water Therapy

Key Benefits:
Drug-free & needle-free
Safe for long-term home use
Effective after 6–10 sessions

6. Surgery (ETS – Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy)

How It Works: A last-resort surgical procedure where sympathetic nerves responsible for sweating are clipped or cut.
Best For: Severe, disabling hyperhidrosis unresponsive to all other treatments.

Key Benefits:
Permanent cure for hands & armpits
Risk of compensatory sweating elsewhere
